In just two and a half years, our forum has grown by leaps and bounds.
Thank you all for participating here and helping each other realize their Wyoming dreams!
FSWers have a fine reputation for friendliness and helpfulness, and it shows here.

Yeah, I just noticed that yesterday. I'm glad you ignored my long-ago advice to just stay with the mailing list.

Thanks, Paul.
Sometimes I have a decent idea or two.

OK, so how many do we have here "in country"?

Dozens.

How many dozens?
Who can say?

The cool thing about the Wyoming phenomenon is that relocators
needn't be FSWers or even forum members for the FSW to have
done its job. Many relocators lurk and glean what they need to,
and then move. I've spoken with several of them this past year.
Very stealthy, and there's no way to count them. Heh.

The entire rustbelt could probably hide out in Wyoming and not having anyone notice until the beer
supply ran out. As long as people didn't clump up too much, didn't litter, and avoided travel, who can
say just how long they might lurk.

Or at least maybe 15 years ago. Today everyone is yapping on cell phones all day long, all you would have
to do is locate the overloaded cell clusters.

If my e-mail and other forum in-boxes are any indication, trhere are a LOT who aren't in Wyoming yet because they're at present in Iraq or Afghanistan, or serving elsewhere with the military. I know several of the FSW *plankholders* are veterans or have other military backgrounds, and so are at least some of those planing resettlement ASAP, meself included. And there's no shortage of veterans, male or female, among the population of those who've made Wyoming their home for generations: my granddad settled his WWI Homestead Act veterans' tract in Wyoming back when Calvin Coolidge was in the White House.

Is THAT what they're doing! I thought it was just a really bad case of head lice going around, with everybody scratching at their ears and sideburns....

Does anyone know where that figure is now? It would be nice to post some figures on some of the NH sites.

Boston · « **Reply #9 on:** February 23, 2009, 10:48:53 PM »

Over 1,300 now.

Thanks,
Boston

Aw gee, do we have to keep kicking NH when they are down? They made choices just like us, I wish them well and I hope they want the same for us. I am moving to WYOMING. Where the men are men, women are few, and the sheep are scared.
